Specification of Letters Patent.-

Patented July 11, 1916.

T all whom it may concern 'l acitizen of the United States, residing at.

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. Von Pr m,

Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have inventedcertainnew and useful Improvements in Cash-Registers, of which I declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to cash registers or acounting machines and hasparticular reference to the printing mechanism of such machines. I v

While one object of the invention is to provide a ticket issuing machinethat is simple in construction and can be manufactured at a low cost,and in the following description and the accompanying drawings theinventionis treated as applied to a cash rifgister designed for use in atheater ticket o co, it is not the intention to limit the use of theidea to such machines.

The invention is a broad one and is applicable in various forms to cashregister and accounting machine printing mechanisms in general, and notsimply to the printing mechanisms of machines designed for oneparticular line of business.

In previous constructions the value printing type carriers and the paperfeeding devices have been entirely separate and distinct, but operatedin certain relations one to the other by a main operating mechanism.v

In the present construction, and this is a broad object of theinvention, the type carrying and paper feeding functions are combined inone element, thereby greatly simplifying the construction of theprinting mechanism and lessening the chances of its getting out ofadjustment. It should be understood, however, that it is not the desireto be limited to a feeding element such as is shown in this embodimentof the improvement, as

the idea can be applied to many other forms ofv feeding or impressiondevices with just as'satisfactory results. 1

In the construction disclosed by this application a paper feedingelement carries a plurality of independent type carriers each bearingthecharacters to representone of thekeys on the keyboard.

Another object of the invention is to provide devices which arepositively and diiferentially positioned when a key is pressed so thatthe type carrier corresponding to the key used will be inked and causedto make an impression when the paper is fed by the feeding device.

As applied to show ticket issuing machines one object of the inventionis to provide a machine that will print and issue tickets of admissionas they are called for by patrons. In thisway the expense of providingand carrying on hand more tickets than may be needed is done away withand there is no possibility of losses on account of valid tickets beingstolen from the ticket office.

Another object is to provide a simply constructed ticket issuing machinein which the amounts received for tickets are automatically added on atotalizer as the tickets are issued.

With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists incertain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, theessential elements of which are set forth in appended claims, and apreferred form of embodiment of which is hereinafter described withreference to the drawings which accompany and form part of thespecification.

-Of said drawings: Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a cashregister and shows a part of the improvement assembled in position. Fig.2 is a left side elevation of a cash register with the outside frame ofthe printing mechanism removed. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view' of thepaper feeding and printing cylinder. Fig. 4: is a rear view partly insection of the paper feeding and printing cylinder and shows the amountprinting when in position in the machine. Fig. 6 rep-- resents a ticketissued by the illustrative ma chine.

The cash register in which this embodiment of the invention is shown isthe one fully described in United States Letters Patent 580,378 grantedApril 13th, 1897, to J. P. Cleal and F. A. Reinhard, while the printingcylinder used is shown and described in United States Letters Patent 511,2 17 issued June 18th, 1895, to William Murphy. Reference may be hadto those patents for a complete description of such parts of theregister and cylinder as are not described drum carrying printingplungers, one for each of the keys of the machine, bearing characterscorresponding to the captions on their respective keys. Depressin a keyto record thesale of a ticket positively positions acam bearing deviceinside of the drum so-that when the cylinder is rotated in the operationof the machine the plunger corresponding to the key depressed will be,carried across the projections of the corresponding cam and forced outtwice; the first time to receive ink from an ink rol and the next timeto print on'the ticket 1 s being fed through. During the operation the'amount received for the ticket is automatically added on a totalizer.The printer is so arranged that the ticket is issued at the rear of themachine. The purpose of this is to' make it possible to place the thefront or key side towar and with the receiver into n gister with theoperator is issued extending through the ticket wini and 3 respectively(see Fig. 1). hen one is loosely journaled on a shaft .d0w.-- This makesthe ticket accessible to and would the patron but not to the oper oresell used make noticeable any attemp= tickets.

Explaining the machine in decal? and with reference to the drawings, the5e, 1 and 15 keys are represented by the numerals 1, 2

of these keys is pressed in it is held in the depressed position'by a'd'etent 1 and a retaining bar with the inner end of the key extendinginto the path of trip 71 for the latch 72 carried by a seg it 73 whichAttached to the shaft 74 is a plate 7 5 and attached to the shaft 77,which is one of the main driving shafts of the machine and is given acomplete rotation on every operation of the machine, is a crank 78. Alink 79 connects the cranks 76 and 78. As the crank 78 is shorter thanthe crank 76, every 1 the ticket a crank 7 6,

time the shaft 77 rotates the shaft 74 and the plate 75 attached to itare rocked through an arc of about 90. At the beginning of the operationthe latch 72 engages the plate 7 5 and the segment 73 is carried upuntil the latch trip 71 strikes the end of the key de pressed, trippingthe latch and disconnecting the segment 73 from the plate 75 andprojecting the end of the latch 72 into engagement'with a notch such asshown at 81 in a plate attached to the key frame and holding it inengagement until the operation of the machine is completed. The teeth ofthe-segment 73 are always in engagement with the teeth of a gear 811 andduring the time the segment is moving the gear 811 is rotated, and, ofcourse, it stops when the segment 73 is stopped by the tripping of thelatch 72. This differential movementof the segment 73 and the gear 811is transmitted through av gear 82 and an intermediate pinion 83 to atotalizer wheel 6, causing the totalizer wheel to be rotated the propernumber of divisions to represent the value of the key depressed. Thegear 811 also transmits the differential motion to an indicator 84through a pinion (not shown) rigid with the gear 811 and meshing with agear 85 attached tothe side of an indicator 84. This mechanism is shownand described in greater detail in the Cleal and Reinhard patent citedabove and reference may be had to that the register, an impression'roll9 attached to a shaft 10 journaled in printer side frames 11 and 12(Figs. 2, 3 and 4), the inking roll 13 turning on azrod 14: supported bythe printer side frames 11 and 12, and the knives 15 and 16 for severingtickets from a ticket strip 17. Attached to the shaft 10 and between theinner printer frame 11 and the machine frame 18 is a gear 19 always inmesh with a gear 21 attached to the driving shaft 7. Each time the shaft7 is rotated both the impression roll 9 and the cylinder 8 are givencomplete rotations. A supply roll 22 of ticket strip 17 is carried on astub shaft 23 in the casing of the machine and the paper passes fromthis supply roll u over a guide 24 between the cylinder 8 an theimpression roll 9 and through the slot of a paper guide 25 to the knives15 and 16.

After the ticket has been printed and fed the proper distance it issevered from the ticketstrip by the knives 15 and 16 and drops in areceiver 26. The ticket strip is fed from the supply roll 22 by thefeeding flange 27 attached to the cylinder 8 and a the ticket from topvto bottom depends upon the length'of the flange 27 and plate 28, as thelonger they are the. longer they grip the paper and the more paper ispulled from the supply roll on each operation of the machine. Attachedto the end nearest the machine of the impression roll 9 is a cam with agroove 31. In this groove there operates an anti-friction roll 32carried by an arm 33 pivoted at 34 to the inside printer frame 11 and at35'to a laterally extending plate 36 which is slidably mounted at oneside in a guide way 37 which is a part of the inside printer frame 11.Attached to the plate 36 isthe upper knife 16. It will be seen that eachtime the impression roll isrotated the knife 16 will be'carried down sothat it. will act in connection with the lower knife 15,

.which is rigidly attached to the printer frame 11, in such a way as tosever the ticket strip 17, after which the knife 16 is returned to itsoriginal position.

. are normally'held against the disks. 43 by As shown in Fig. 3 thecylinder 8 carries wheels 38 for printing the consecutive numbers of thetickets issued and wheels 41 for printingthe date on which the ticketwas sold. 1 Above and below the space through which these wheels extendthere may be attached type carriers in the form of electros to printadvertising matter or announcements such as are shown on the sampleticket in Fig; 6. This construction is fully explained in the Murphypatent above cited and needs no detailed description here. The usualshellofthe cylinder is extended so as to provide a drum or compartmentin which the amount printing mechanism of this invention is placed (seeFig. 4).. Mounted in the shell of the drum and extending throughsuitable holes in the plate 28 are plungers 42. The heads of theseplungers springs 40 pressed between the heads of the .plungers and theinside of the plate 28.

The disks 43 and a series of cams 44, 45 and 46 for operating the 5,' 10and 15 plungers respectively are all rigidly fastened to a shaft 7 whichis in axial alinement with the drive shaft 7 and is 'journaled-at oneend in the outside printerframe 12, thereby forming one of the supportson which the cylinder turns, and has/the other end rotating freely in abearing provided in the transverse wall 47 separating the twocompartments of the cylinder. The outer end of the compartment in whichthe amount the teeth of which the gear 49 attached to the shaft 7. lVhenone of the registering printing devices are located is closed after theparts are assembled in position by a cap plate 48. This cap plate isfastened to the cylinder shell and turns with the cylinder independentof the shaft 7 Secured to the shaft 7 and adjoining the cap plate shaftof. the key. When the keys are pressed in these pins strike a lever 52rigidly attached to a rock shaft 53 'journaled in the key bank frame 50,the casing 24 .and the printer frames 11 and 12. A stop stud 62 holdsthe lever 52 in the position shown, While a stud 63 serves as a stop tofix the greatest extent of movement possible for the lever. The'lever 52is so graduated that the pin of each key will impart a different extentof movement to the lever and consequently turn the rock shaft differentde grees. Attached to the end of the rock shaft 53 just inside of theoutside printer frame 12 isa long gear segment 54 (Fig. 2) are always inmesh with keys is pressed in and the shaft '53 rocked the segment 54 isswung up a distance depending upon which key is pressed, rotating thegear 49, the shaft 7 and the cams attached to the shaft to bring theproper one of the cams into effective position. Vi hen the depressed keyis released near the end of the operation of thema chine the force ofgravity is depended upon to pull the segment 54 downwardly, therebyrestoring it and its associated parts to normal position. It is obvious,of-course, that a spring may also be employed to assist the force ofgravity in restoring these parts to normal. The shape and axillarydisplacement of the cams 44, 45 and 46 on the shaft 7 are bestshown inFig. 5. Each cam has two operating projections, one to operate itsplunger 42 to take ink from. the ink roll 13 and the other to operatetheplunger to make an impression on the ticket. The projections to operatethe plungers to take ink are designated by the numeral 55 and theproections to operate them to make the im-' pressionare designated bythenumeral 56 t Fig. 5). When a key is depressed the ink--- ingprojection 55, of the corresponding cam will be o posite the oint 57 ofthe ink roll 13 and the impression-operating projection 56 will beopposite the'printing line 58 of theimpr'ession roll 9. The cams remainin this position while the machine is operated. During the operation thecylinder is rotated. carrying the plungers along and causing them topass over the projections 55 and 56 of their cams. However, the cams arespirally mounted around the shaft 7*- in such a way that only one of thecams has might rotate the shaft 7 As the segment far enough to bring thefeeding ated out of effective position they neither ink nor print.

' As so far described it will be seen that the friction between theplungers 42 and their operatingcamswould have a tendency to cause thecam to be carried along with the plungers'whenthey come in contact. Thisraising the segment gear 54 and rocking the shaft 53 until the lever 52was stopped by the stop stud 63, which would result in printing 15 onevery operation regardless of the key pressed. To prevent this there isprovided a pawl 64 (Fig. 2) loosely pivoted at 65 to the outside printerframe 12 with a nose 66 resting .in the notches of a plate 67 attachedto the side of the segment gear 54. I 54 is raised and lowered duringoperation the nose of the pawl passes idly over the teeth of the plate.However, as soon as the segment gear 54 has been placed by the key andthe machine operated plate 28 (Fig. 5) into contact withthe extension 68of the pawl 64, the nose 66 of the pawl is firmly held in engagementwith the teeth of the plate 67 until both the inking and printinmovements of the plungers are com pleted. In'this way the drag of theplungers 42 across the projections of their cams is prevented fromdisplacing the cams and causing the wrong amounts to be printed.

To summarize the operation. of the device, a brief description of whatoccurs when a 15 ticket is sold will next be given. The

15 key 3 (Fig. 1) is pressed in and retained in its depressed positionby mechanism provided for that purpose. As the key is forced in itcontacts the graduated lever 52 and rocks the shaft 53 to which thelever is attached and carries the gear segment 54 attached to the sameshaft a corresponding distance. The gear segment rotates shaft 7carrying the series of cams each having two projections 55 and 56, thefirst to ink the type and the latter to print on the ticket aper. Thesecams are so arranged on their shaft 7 -that the projections of only oneof the cams will be at the inking and printing positions during anoperation so that while all of the plungers are operated during arotation of the cylinder which carries them, only one of the plungerswill ink'and print. After the cams have been positioned so that the onecorresponding to the 15 key has its projections in the effectivepositions and the mechanism is started the, segment gear is locked inposition by the pawl 64 so that it cannot be displaced until near theend of the operation of the machine. Then as the and the gear 49,

susceptible of all coming within the scope of the claims until itreaches the extension 56 on the cam 46, when it is again cammed out sothe type make an impression on the ticket paper 17. Further operationserves ticket strip and allows it to drop into the receiver provided forthat purpose and the weight of the segment 54 causes it to drop back tonormal, thereby returning all of the parts of the device to thepositions shown in the drawings.

\Vhile the form of mechanism herein shown and described is admirablyadapted to fulfil the objects primarily stated, it is to be understoodthat it is not intended to confine the invention to the one form ofembodiment herein shown and described, as it is embodiment in variousforms,
